Secular Messianism, Cont’d. - By Michael Potemra - The Corner - National Review Online

Secular Messianism, Cont’d. - By Michael Potemra - The Corner - National Review Online: "But a Methodist minister of my e-mail acquaintance has put her finger on a more fundamental problem with Obama’s rhetoric, one that this instance illustrates quite strikingly:

I am struggling with an odd thing — our president is beginning to preach my sermons, albeit with a secular leftist twist! I realized this when I heard his now-infamous “you didn’t build that company” line . . . how many times I have preached on a text like the Pharisee and the tax collector and said something like that! Something along the lines of: “Whatever you have, it’s the result of the gifts God gave you” or some such comment."

Yes, it kind of reminds me of Mosiah 2:20-21

20 I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all theathanks and bpraise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and cpreserved you, and has caused that ye should drejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another—
 21 I say unto you that if ye should aserve him who has created you from the beginning, and is bpreserving you from day to day, by lending you cbreath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own dwill, and even supporting you from one moment to another—I say, if ye should serve him with all your ewhole souls yet ye would be funprofitable servants.
